It's possible for prom_init to allocate the flat device tree inside the
kdump crash kernel region. If this happens, when we load the kdump kernel we
overwrite the flattened device tree, which is bad.
We could make prom_init try and avoid allocating inside the crash kernel
region, but then we run into issues if the crash kernel region uses all the
space inside the RMO. The easiest solution is to move the flat device tree
once we're running in the kernel.

It turns out that we can't stop the watchdog from
triggering here. If we touch the timer (which just uses the current jiffie
value) before we enable interrupts, it does nothing because jiffies
are not mass-updated until after we enable interrupts. If we touch the
timer after we enable interrupts, its too late because the softlockup
watchdog will already have triggered. The touch_softlockup_watchdog
call removed below does nothing.

This addresses two items, which are unlikely to be hit if we
trust drivers.
The first is moving a memory barrier below where the vmerged SG count
is passed back, but before the list is set to end. If those
instructions were reordered, there could be an issue in iommu_unmap_sg().
The second is making sure we terminate the list on the failure case of
iommu_map_sg(). If a driver does not look at the failure return code,
it could pass a ill-formed SG list to iommu_unmap_sg().

You can't boot a kdump kernel via OF, not reliably anyway, the kernel being at
32 MB conflicts with the zImage wrapper etc. and it blows up.
It's trivial to check in prom_init though, and this is early enough that we can
actually drop back to OF where a reset-all will get you going again, which is
kinda nice. I think this should go in for 2.6.16.

In prom.c we run finish_node() on allnodes twice. The first time we just
calculate how much memory we'll need, the second time we do the actual work.
If the calculation stage determines that we need 0 bytes, then we should skip

lead to a BUG_ON() in reserve_bootmem() on at least one machine.

The non-NUMA case would do an unmatched "free_alien_cache()" on an alien
pointer that had never been allocated.
It might not matter from a code generation standpoint (since in the
non-NUMA case, the code doesn't actually _do_ anything), but it not only
results in a compiler warning, it's really really ugly too.
Fix the compiler warning by just having a matching dummy allocation.
That also avoids an unnecessary #ifdef in the code.

i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started
processor after CPU hotplug. The cpu_devs array is searched to find the
vendor and it contains pointers to freed data.
Fix that by:
1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup.
2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data].
3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu
to a safe default when the vendor is not found.
This does not change behavior for AMD systems. They were broken already

When walking a path, the LOOKUP_CONTINUE flag is used by some filesystems
(for instance NFS) in order to determine whether or not it is looking up
the last component of the path. It this is the case, it may have to look
at the intent information in order to perform various tasks such as atomic
open.
A problem currently occurs when link_path_walk() hits a symlink. In this
case LOOKUP_CONTINUE may be cleared prematurely when we hit the end of the
path passed by __vfs_follow_link() (i.e. the end of the symlink path)
rather than when we hit the end of the path passed by the user.
The solution is to have link_path_walk() clear LOOKUP_CONTINUE if and only
if that flag was unset when we entered the function.

This fixes locking and bugs in cpu_down and cpu_up paths of the NUMA slab
allocator. Sonny Rao <sonny@burdell.org> reported problems sometime back on
POWER5 boxes, when the last cpu on the nodes were being offlined. We could
not reproduce the same on x86_64 because the cpumask (node_to_cpumask) was not
being updated on cpu down. Since that issue is now fixed, we can reproduce
Sonny's problems on x86_64 NUMA, and here is the fix.
The problem earlier was on CPU_DOWN, if it was the last cpu on the node to go
down, the array_caches (shared, alien) and the kmem_list3 of the node were
being freed (kfree) with the kmem_list3 lock held. If the l3 or the
array_caches were to come from the same cache being cleared, we hit on
badness.
This patch cleans up the locking in cpu_up and cpu_down path. We cannot
really free l3 on cpu down because, there is no node offlining yet and even
though a cpu is not yet up, node local memory can be allocated for it. So l3s
are usually allocated at keme_cache_create and destroyed at
kmem_cache_destroy. Hence, we don't need cachep->spinlock protection to get
to the cachep->nodelist[nodeid] either.
Patch survived onlining and offlining on a 4 core 2 node Tyan box with a 4
dbench process running all the time.

Earlier, we had to disable on chip interrupts while taking the
cachep->spinlock because, at cache_grow, on every addition of a slab to a slab
cache, we incremented colour_next which was protected by the cachep->spinlock,
and cache_grow could occur at interrupt context. Since, now we protect the
per-node colour_next with the node's list_lock, we do not need to disable on
chip interrupts while taking the per-cache spinlock, but we just need to
disable interrupts when taking the per-node kmem_list3 list_lock.

colour_next is used as an index to add a colouring offset to a new slab in the
cache (colour_off * colour_next). Now with the NUMA aware slab allocator, it
makes sense to colour slabs added on the same node sequentially with
colour_next.
This patch moves the colouring index "colour_next" per-node by placing it on
kmem_list3 rather than kmem_cache.
This also helps simplify locking for CPU up and down paths.

Ben points out that:
When writing files out using O_SYNC, jbd's 1 jiffy delay results in a
significant drop in throughput as the disk sits idle. The patch below
results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my
IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC.
So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is
doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync
write. If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the
transaction.
(Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance
testing it)
Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE:
/usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name
Unpatched:
40 seconds
Patched:
35 seconds
Batching disabled:
35 seconds
This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case. With multiple
fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch.
Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction
batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10
dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE). This is because by the time one
process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already
have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same
transaction anyway.
The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm
pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd
years ago...

The pktcdvd driver was using an 8 bit field to store the packet length

The pktcdvd driver defaulted to its maximum allowed packet length when it
detected a 0 in the track info field. I changed this to fail the operation
and refuse to access the media. This seems more sane than attempting to
access it with a value that almost certainly will not work.
